Face to Face Classes Suspended for January 2022
We have made the decision to suspend Face to Face classes in January. We hope to be back in Amersham on Wednesday 2nd February.
Watch this space!
Face to Face Classes
We are really pleased to be trialing a weekly Face to Face PDPower Class in a new, larger venue to help with social distancing. It will be great to return to real classes and help people make the most of exercises. The new venue at Jubilee Hall, Scout Hut Amersham is a great new building with loads of space and brand new amenities. We are running this class once a week along side our very successful Zoom PDPower Classes.
World Parkinson’s Day
World Parkinson’s Day on April 11th 2021 starts the beginning of World Parkinson’s Awareness Week. As there is no cure for Parkinson’s, this is an annual opportunity to raise awareness and much needed funds to support people with living with the condition, to improve quality of life and to ensure that people live better for longer. Me and my great team help people with Parkinson’s through using regular high intensity exercise to empower and assist people live well with Parkinson’s. We have had a challenging year but risen to this challenge by Zoom classes, fundraising challenges and supporting each other with Zoom socials. This week is about raising awareness about this condition to help people understand the complexities of it and help raise funds to find a cure.

Virtual Therapy – should I have a reveiw?
Due to Covid-19 we have decided to provide some therapy virtually via FaceTime or Zoom
Why may I need a virtual consultation?
- to discuss new symptoms and possible treatment options
- to progress existing exercises
- to address certain difficulties that you are facing at present and set up exercises virtually.
- to reveiw your current situation
- to go through specific exercises that you find hard
- to focus on specific areas like balance or pain.
Virtual consultation via Facetime or Zoom £25 for 30 minutes, £50 for one hour.
We have been successfully delivering virtual 1:1 sessions for 8 weeks now with some clients. The feedback is that although not the same as a face to face session it has helped sort problems before they escalate
COVID-19 UPDATE
Due to Covid-19 normal face-to-face therapy had been suspended. However, due to advice taken from the CSP physiotherapists are now able to risk assess individual cases and decide if face-to-face contact is essential to the wellbeing of the client. If this is the case then Personal Protective Equipment gloves, apron , facemask and if appropriate a visor) will be worn throughout the session.
Please contact me if you feel a face-to-face assessment is needed.
Virtual Zoom Classes Going Really Well
We have opened up virtual PDPower classes via the Zoom Video Conferencing System. A new learning experience for all and a few new neural pathways grown in the process! They are going really well and everyone seems to be enjoying them.
Covid-19
All face to face sessions and groups have been suspended at this time. But the good news is we are still offering classes and consultations remotely.
